My kids got interested in rock climbing so I took it upon myself to share their passion and construct a climbing feature on the sidewall of our home. Safety was the obvious focus, so the initial step was to double up on the rope holds and purchase high-end carabiners for the rope set, allowing for rappelling. These were secured through the brick wall and mounted with a metal interior plate. The next step was to install the bell for climb completion. The handholds were installed with mortar screws and reinforced with a quickset epoxy for additional support. Climbers are put on belay and begin their ascent.

The home is for sale. For more information Contact Tracy Gaudiano at 404.944.5393.
